EXTENDED DAY INFORMATION
Seaside Charter Schools Extended Day program provides a fun, engaging, and structured environment promoting indoor & outdoor free play activities as social-emotional enrichment. Complementary to the Waldorf-inspired curriculum, free play is a form of experiential learning for the grades students. By definition, it is play, undirected by a teacher, expressed through the creative imagination of the students.
Building forts and fairy houses, free drawing, modeling with beeswax, and imaginative stick play are all examples of free play encouraged in this program. Through peer-led activities such as these, the child not only draws inspiration from the mixed age environment, but also acquires important problem-solving skills.
With this in mind, a teacher's intentional holding of this program is paramount in establishing a hygienic social environment beneficial to students. A daily rhythm anchors each of our mornings and afternoons together. In addition to free play, this rhythm includes movement games, story, drawing, and snack. An engaged teacher is keen to group dynamics and will introduce pedagogical stories, group games, and chores at varying times throughout the day. Through these activities, the teacher is modeling for the students the etiquette of work and play.
